Tangles has one on, not tuned yet though, sounds like he is very happy so far.

Thats right, its an awesome turbo.

Getting tuned next month (Feb 07), in rwd, expect 240rwkw at 1bar, or thereabouts

Pulls god damned hard at 13.5psi tho :) (at 14psi R&R kicked in)

Spins up onto boost really really well at 13.5, so at 15psi I expect it to be a bit of a ball tearer.

Will post the AFR's and dyno graph for the SITC/SAFCII tuned Slide turbo'd Stagea, ASAP

Got a better copy of my dyno sheet now:

I have extensively changed the settings since it was tuned as it drove like shit with the tuner's settings.

Waaay too much R&R which i have now smoothed out with extra SAFC/SITC tweaks.

Mods:

3" exhaust dump back

SAFC2

SITC

Pod filter

Profec B S2

Running 11.5-12psi

Just got my stag retuned at BoostWorx here in SA.

Actually they only have a 2WD dyno so we drove over to Turbo Tune (5 mins away) to use their 4WD dyno. Shaun from BoostWorx still did all the work however, we just borrowed their dyno for a bit.

Not a bad result, since it was tuned by another guy only a few months ago.

Gained an extra 10kw at the top end and some nice gains in the midrange.

AFR's were sitting below 11:1 but are now a nicer 12:1.

The extra 10kw is basically due to ignition timing however the safc tuning improved the midrange somewhat.

Here's the pics...

(Max 158kw and note this is at all 4 wheels)

I left the boost at 11-12 psi since I was happy with the power output and more boost would only affect the top end.

All in all it is still a bit laggy but with a big turbo like the GT30 its to be expected. Full boost seems to be around 4500rpm or thereabouts, although it starts winding up around 2500rpm. Its not all bad though, because cruising around off-boost saves on fuel :)

P.S. I do have the graph showing the official reading "157.9kw" but the other two graphs I have shown above were more meaningful - showing boost and AFR's. :)

Pixel8r : Looks like a boost controller would give you a decent hp bonus as your boost is falling off like the standard turbo.

I really need a better turbo that doesnt fall off after 5krpm :D

Yeah I know.

Otherwise i'd be happy to put up with the current boost controller but just up the boost a couple psi so it AVERAGES 11-12psi rather than just pokes at it initially... :(

but a decent boost controller costs a lot of money and mine cost $30 off ebay so I'm not complaining at all :(

Its a needle valve type (same as the $22 boost controller on this forum) so fairly reliable too.

My GT30 turbo really wants more boost than I give it (would be most efficient around 14-18 psi i'm guessing), but I'm moving interstate and will be training to rekindle my career in IT so once again the car is pushed further down the priority list :yes:

The biggest thing I noticed from my last tune is that I gained 10kw mainly through ignition timing - and the combination of ignition timing and more efficient tune with the SAFC has made the car noticeably more responsive right throughout the rev range. The car just feels a lot faster with more get up and go. I'm loving it ;)

$150 well spent! If anyone in SA has not been to boostworx yet, GO THERE. Your car will love you for it :(

got the car on the dyno today and still had some issues on higher boost with misfiring, it was upto 22psi and managed 584rwhp (436rwkw) but it was getting worse the hotter it got so boost was turned down to 18psi and managed 545rwhp (407rwkw), its still got the misfire issues and its wiring related so its getting a full check over to see whats the problem in the next few days.

still goes alright and has no trouble smoking tyres in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear now (in 2wd) :laugh: and its damn loud when revving out :laugh:

heres the final dyno graph as it is now...

*schwiiiiinnng*

You must be happier than a dog with 2 doodles with an intermittant result like that. Can't wait to see what it will do fully sorted.

Well done dude!

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
